A WORLD VIEW OF THE U.S. DEBT: If America falls—who will come to her rescue?

“When the people once surrender their share in the legislature, and their right of defending the limitations upon the government, and of resisting every encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.” – John Adams

It’s dark inside the White House

President Obama’s administration is leaving Americans in the dark, as it continues to push the United States further into debt and subservience to other nations.

On the other hand, the solutions that have been offered through Cut, Cap & Balance are transparent and have been the only ones that make sense– in this battle to save America at the edge of an economic precipice.

It is shameful that a debate on Cut, Cap & Balance was tabled by the Senate.

What do Senate Democrats fear?

The will of the people?

Americans are not interested in a “deal”.

Americans want and deserve a solution to the debt, and this includes passing a crucial Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Tax increases are not the solution to the debt.

Not surprisingly, President Obama has offered nothing concrete during the current debt talks. With his socialist aversion to leadership, President Obama has reduced the significance of this matter to mere sound bites and clichés in front of television cameras.

The Hellenic Mirror: A reflection of our reality?

This ‘smoke and mirrors’ game is, in effect, part of the Socialist environment that is destroying our nation—much like the Socialist environment I witnessed during my stays in Greece—as the Panhellenic Socialist Movement grew and eventually choked that beautiful country, while participating in the equally socialist euro zone profligacy.

The fall of America as the world’s economic leader would be an event of proportions and repercussions never seen before. It would overshadow any Greek Tragedy— including the current financial one.

Much to the detriment of our national security, Americans have been pawns in an economic environment “propped up” by borrowing money from other countries—most significantly from the Communists in Beijing. As such, China is the biggest investor in the U.S. debt— and our most dangerous economic and military enemy.

Last year, Americans experienced Communist China’s anger after Washington sold arms to Taiwan. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency published an interview where Major General Luo Yuan (deputy secretary general of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences) warned what the U.S. could expect in return:

“Our retaliation should not be restricted to merely military matters, and we should adopt a strategic package of counterpunches covering politics, military affairs, diplomacy and economics, to treat both the symptoms and root cause of this disease.”

Yuan added that Washington could be punished through “oblique means and stealthy feints… such as dumping some U.S. government bonds.”

Added to the arsenal of punishments that the Communist Chinese have in store for us, is the development of electromagnetic pulse weapons, which would be used against U.S. aircraft carriers– should the People’s Liberation Army attack Taiwan and Americans dare to intervene.

If America falls—no one can come to her rescue. Only God can save America.

A Special Message on this Memorial Day As a survivor of Communism, I extend my deepest gratitude to all the soldiers who have died for our freedom, and to their families for the support that they gave their sons and daughters as they went into battle– never to see them alive again.
